FIXMYSTREET IN NR12 0LJ
The following problems have been reported on Fix My Street within 2 miles of NR12 0LJ:
Deep mud in dip of road at the bottom of hill, 27th March
Mud from the nearby pig farm has now become so deep that, even when it is baked hard, it catches the bottom of normal cars. It is difficult for local residents who depend on mobility scooters to navigate, even when dry. In the wet it is impossible for mobility scooters and for people in normal footwear.

NCC signpost broken (Witton FP 1), 30th January
SEE THE PHOTOGRAPHS! Norfolk County Council signpost has been broken down, and apparently thrown into the hedge. This incident comes on the back of a sheer raft of previous abuse, e.g. https://www.fixmystreet.com/ report/ 4627714 https://www.fixmystreet.com/ report/ 4790671 https://www.fixmystreet.com/ report/ 4763660 https://www.fixmystreet.com/ report/ 3928174 https://www.fixmystreet.com/ report/ 1134337

Report on FixMyStreet
Public path too narrow (Bacton FP 1), 29th January
See the annotated photos! The physically available path is very narrow - down to as little as 1ft. 10 in. in width, in parts. Norfolk County Council, you need to define the legal width of the path, and to ensure that that full legal width gets made and kept physially available.

Report on FixMyStreet
No signage for the public path (Bacton FP 4), 2nd January
No visible signage, at the point where Bacton FP 4 leaves the metalled U11431 road - see the first two photos. The signage shown in the third image is inadequate for four reasons: (1) it is obscured by overgrowth, (2) the roundel is faded, (3) at less than 3 inches in diameter, with text at less than 4 mm., this roundel is not clear enough to effectively indicate the path at its junction with a metalled road, and (4) there is no information on the signpost about any place to which the path leads. The path forms the only direct public pedestrian highway route from Pollard Street (Bacton) to Witton, and it is clearly highly convenient and appropriate that that information be included on any signpost, here, as per the specific requirement of s.27(2)(b) Countryside Act 1968.

YET AGAIN! Signpost leaning over (Bacton FP 12), 2nd January
Further to https://www.fixmystreet.com/report/1918212 (Jan 2020) and https://www.fixmystreet.com/report/4322263 (March 2023) this flimsy wooden signpost is AGAIN leaning severely - see photos. Leaning over worse than ever! The signpost is failing to indicate the whereabouts of the path with sufficient accuracy, and its poor state detracts from the very importance of the public path as a public highway. Clearly a post of this type is prone to continued leaning. Also, there is no information on the signpost about where the path leads to; FP 12 is part of the shortest public pedestrian route between the villages of Edingthorpe and Witton, and it is clearly highly convenient and appropriate for it to be stated on the signpost that the path leads to Witton, as per the specific requirement of s.27(2)(b) of the Countryside Act 1968.

Misleading NCC signage STILL present (Bacton Fp 3), 16th November
Reporting further to https://www.fixmystreet.com/report/2787098 (June 2021). More than TWO years on, Norfolk County Council have ignored the report, and left the misleading signage in situ. There's no justification for this malpractice.
